Christine Daley, a resident of Brooklyn and of Montauk, died at her Montauk home on July 24, one day after her 62nd birthday. The cause was pancreatic cancer. Ms. Daley had been ill for four years.
Born on July 23, 1958, in Mount Kisco, N.Y., to Henry Daley and the former Josephine Salamone, she grew up nearby in Pleasantville, graduating from Pleasantville High School and the College of New Rochelle before postgraduate study at New York University. She later lived briefly in Florida and Tennessee, said her husband, John Hilty. They were married in the spring of 1994.
Ms. Daley worked in finance, at both Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers in Manhattan.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by two daughters, Caroline Hilty of Washington, D.C., and Leigh Hilty of Brooklyn. A brother, Jack Daley of Park City, Utah, also survives, as does a niece and Ms. Daley's two stepsons, John Hilty of Singapore and Mark Hilty of Spring Hill, Tenn.
A private service took place on July 28. Ms. Daley was cremated. Her family has suggested memorial contributions to the Lustgarten Foundation, the nation's largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, at lustgarten.org.
